So, was I right about the ghosts?...


A lot of people said it was going to turn out to be just people hallucinating, not ghosts...I gave up on the X-Files remake, I mean True Detective, after just a couple episodes...so who ended up being right? Were there ghosts (and/or the supernatural) or not?

I believe they are supposed to be ghosts/spirits.

I dunno. I figure they must be something.


[none]

they could be something, yes,
but i never even bothered watching this season so to me they are simply non-existent

i don't think there are ghosts , they say the cyanide level is 11 times higher than the authorized level + the fact that they live in an environment and culture where spirits are so important, therefore the water or something gave them hallucinations of what they have been hearing about since forever; in such a town and such an atmosphere if you are going to hallucinate you are going to hallucinate about the local legends you've heard 1000 times or about your dead ones, probably not about something from Africa or Australia.

This is a silly take

what do you mean? when you live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere with 6 months of darkness and there is a very strong culture of ancestors, spritis of dead people, legends, ghosts, etc... if you hallucinate you probably won't see Mickey Mouse or crocodiles or the Eiffel Tower, you'll hallucinate about dead people you know and local legends ; just same as people in huge concrete towns L.A or N.Y probably would not hallucinate about things from deep Alaska or local eskimo culture
